Echo with Ruby Hughes and Huw Watkins
Advertisement
Huw Watkins' song cycle Echo, composed for Ruby Hughes is at the centre of this beautifully crafted recital. Setting texts by five different poets, the cycle is a work centred on melancholy - on transience, remembrance, and in the final song a numbed cry of inconceivable loss. Works by Master of the King's Music, Errolyn Wallen, Britten and others showcase Ruby's captivating capacity for communication and connection.
